Angle alpha is opposite side a, right?

So you need to find \[\beta\] \[\gamma\] and c.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Miyuru yes!

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Since you have an angle and a side that are opposite each other, you can establish a ratio of the law of sines. Then since you have b, use the law of sines to find angle beta. Once you have beta, use alpha + beta + gamma = 180 to fing gamma. Then use the law of sines again to find c.
